Do I need temporary No-Parking signs for a moving truck in Jersey City?

Often yes, especially on metered or busy residential streets. Jersey City requires a traffic permit for overnight residential moves, and the city’s Parking Enforcement Division provides temporary No-Parking signs and meter bags. Requests must be made at least 72 hours in advance and signs must be posted at least 48 hours before the move. Fees are $10 per sign (up to one work week) and $20 per meter bag per day. We can handle this for you.

How far in advance should I book movers in Jersey City?

2–4 weeks ahead is ideal (longer in summer and at month-end). We also take last-minute jobs if our schedule allows.

What affects the price of a Jersey City move?

Stairs vs elevator, distance from door to truck (long carry), building rules and elevator windows, temporary No-Parking signs/meter bags, and packing needs. Get an exact quote on our pricing page.

Which day is typically cheapest to move in Jersey City?

Weekdays (Mon–Thu) are usually less expensive due to lower demand. Off-peak months (mid-Sep to Apr) can also help.

Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for my building?

Yes. We issue COIs quickly and coordinate with building management for elevator reservations and loading dock access.

How do I dispose of unwanted furniture in Jersey City?

City sanitation allows up to four bulk items per collection day. Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic and pick-ups are scheduled with the Jersey City Department of Public Works. We can also haul items same day.

@meridethmorgn Large One Bedroom - Jersey City

Kimmi and Alex were amazing!! I had other friends who moved around similar times as me and they used a different moving company but they had horrible experiences. Kimmi and Alex handled everything and made this move a breeze. A downside for me was the large window of time when they could arrive and start the move, but that's just because I love a tight schedule so it is no reason not to still give y'all 5 stars. As a girl who lives in Philly without any family, Kimmi and Alex handled my things with care and were better than if my family was moving my things. They unfortunately were unable to mount my TV at my new apartment due to not having a tool to check for electrical, but I don't mind because I don't even have my wifi set up yet so I can't use it anyway. I could not recommend WellKnown Moving Co more! When it comes to moving in Philly, based off my friend's experience with their moving companies, WellKnown Moving Co is the only way to go!

I had a great experience with WellKnown Moving Company! Stan and Alex were fantastic. They were professional, efficient, and handled all of my furniture and boxes with great care. They worked quickly while making sure everything was protected, and the entire move went smoothly from start to finish. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and they definitely made moving day much less stressful. I will 100% use them again and highly recommend Stan and Alex to anyone looking for reliable movers.

Stan and his team were a great help on our move from Houston to Dallas. They arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently and really reduced the stress of moving.

Great job with my move. Very professional!

My partner and I moved from Boston to NYC on August 1st and we couldn’t have asked for better service from both sets of movers. They were communicative, assembled our furniture with no fuss, and were efficient. I’d use them again for any interstate or cross country moves! Only thing to be aware of is checking your contracts thoroughly and often. There were a couple times where pricing changed with no notice, but it was quickly rectified by WellKnown staff.

We moved from East Boston to Manhattan NY, and we could not complain at all. They were on time, kind, incredibly careful with our belongings. Easy to book and communicate with and affordable. Would recommend again and again.

I would recommend well known moving very much! Stan and his team took excellent care of us and I would recommend Stan to anyone. All our furniture was well wrapped, delivered exactly as he said it would be time wise and they were very thorough unpacking. The prices are reasonable as well!

Stan and his team arrived promptly and worked very efficiently. They handled our furniture and items so well, we will be using them again!

Stan and Alex did a great job moving. Friendly guys and really professional

“These guys were awesome. Communicative leading up to the move and the day of. Despite my aparmtent being on the 4th floor with no elevator and a tight staircase, they got everything out with ease. They were careful with all the furniture, wrapping it to avoid scratches and cushioning with blankets. Would definitely hire again!”
